INTRODUCTION
Dear participant of the START Summit
About a year ago, Luca Harrichhausen and I have decided to take the lead of START Summit 15. The student association START has always pursued the vision of generating impact on the European startup scene. As a consequence, we have launched the START ambassador program to outreach founders, students and investors from all over Europe. The ambassador program of START today counts 50 represent-atives from diff erent countries. This is one of the main reasons why we are able to welcome participants from more than 47 different nationalities.
The START Summit 15 is bigger and better than in the past years. Within the two days, this year’s Summit presents nine highly infl uential speakers united by their passion for entre-preneurship and innovation, more than 40 workshops creating a unique platform for intellectual and interdisciplinary dialogues, an exclusive fintech panel with representatives from traditional and new economies, an eight hours coding challenge presented by SAP and much, much more.
With this year’s theme from innovation to disruption, we want to outline the pan-Euro-pean way of snatching innovation from a critical perspective and show that there is greater need for entrepreneurially designed education systems and a comprehensive venturesome attitude of the European investor scene. Moreover we want to give fi rst-hand insights in the Asian startup world (China, Japan, South
East Asia) and highlight the challenges of building up a business there.
It was always one of our big goals to create a unique platform of an intercultural and inter- disciplinary knowledge transfer. Especially the exchange of thoughts and ideas between par-ticipants with diff erent backgrounds such as ICT, business administration and many other subjects is one of START Summit’s key values.
As participant of START Summit 15, you will experience the unique atmosphere of START Summit, get involved in hands-on working sessions, meet inspiring people from all over the world and enjoy two days of finest Entrepreneurship.
Sincerely,
Vincentvon BürenPresidentSTART global

03 STARTGOES ASIA
China has got 618 million internet users which represent just 45% of the population. Cities like Beijing or Shenzhen have turned into tech hubs with over 1’000 research institutes, more than 150 incubators and tons of startups in only a decade. Also in Singapore and India a hard-working and successful entrepreneurship ecosystem grows to global importance. Though, Asian tech companies still suff er from the bad reputation of being copycats. But since the tremendous IPO of Alibaba there is the proof that Asian tech companies cannot be ignored anymore. Tencent, Xiaomi, Baidu, Alibaba are some of the big players in the Asian startup scene. Together they have a valuation of nearly 500 billion USD. Moreover there is a great change of thinking. With strong governmental support, the excellent internet and mobile connectivity rates and two well-known universities for Business and Tech, cities like Singapore or Shenzhen prove that they are amongst the best startup ecosystems in the world.
As a consequence, the “Asian gold-mine” attracts many western entrepreneurial minded people who want to join the startup community there. But setting up a business can be quite hard. The linguistic barriers, the extremely fragmented markets, the lack of trust in external solutions are just some of the many challenges western founders are confronted with.
Startups attending the START Summit 15 are offered the opportunity to record their pitch @ Swissnex Online Pitching and win a trip to Shanghai, Singapore or Bangalore.

The digitalization and rapidly evolving new technology have transformed market conditions for many traditional businesses which majorly impacts customer behaviour and therefore a great part of our society. FinTech gives a new technologi-cal side to the provision of fi nancial solutions which has the potential to drastically disrupt the fi nancial industry we have mostly relied on during decades. Switzerland being one of the most renowned global fi nancial hotspots whilst being strong in advancing in technological knowledge is therefore a potential
hub for a revolution in fi nancial markets. We aim to inspire you by providing a closer look on FinTech, its opportunities for young entrepreneurs and of course the big players and experts in said area. We are very proud to present the FinTech panel as one of the highlights of this year´s conference. The panelists travelling to St. Gallen come from London, Hamburg and Zurich and embody extraordinary knowledge about FinTech and expertise of how to build a business based on fi nancial technology.

TAXED!? / What founders and employees must know about their personal tax situationHolding shares is seen as one of the key incentives for founders and other team members of start-up companies. Moreover, Switzerland-based start-uppers generally believe that they will achieve a tax free capital gain when they sell their shares in an exit scenario. However, this tax concept is being challenged by Swiss tax authorities. Accordingly, choosing the right set up from a tax perspective is crucial for start-ups. In a first part of our workshop, Walder Wyss will acquaint you with the most important principles applied by Swiss tax authorities. In a second part, you will get the opportunity to explore in groups the various pitfalls on your way to a potentially tax free exit based on recent cases.

Marketing Strategy and Positioning - From Function to Benefit to Value SellingSuccessful branding, marketing & communications are more than just a set of tools and A/B testing - it is a state of mind that is very close to both customer and business goals. Too many businesses start with a marketing channel in mind and are neither able to attract customers nor build a strong cultural identity on the inside. In this workshop, Oliver Kanders, who built 10 companies with HitFox Group, will give insight on how players like Apple, Google and HitFox build brands that are superior and leverage communication to build successful companies.
